Surprisingly, there was a great little shop in my small town for a while and I got several items there for a book tour last year. Only spent $50 dollars and had a funky-looking new vest, a jacket, and a couple of other tops that I could mix and match with some existing outfits to make something that looked new. I have also found some treasures at thrift shops. They are good for looking for costumes for plays, too. <br /><br />Duffy, I love the title of your book and the name of that consignment shop. Very memorable.Maryannwriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09479027709233807149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32918125.post-4501889338967989112012-10-13T10:56:05.030-05:002012-10-13T10:56:05.030-05:00Way to go, Jemi!
